Jeremy Sochan Injury Status For Spurs vs Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are playing in Paris against the San Antonio Spurs. They will be playing two games in France as part of this series.

This is essentially two road games for the Pacers since the fans will be rooting for native Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. Winning one or both of these games would be great for them.

Right now, the Pacers have started 8-1 so far in 2025. They are one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the moment.

One of the biggest reasons for their solid play has been Tyrese Haliburton. Even though his numbers are down from last year, his aggressiveness with driving to the rim has opened up the offense for everyone else.

One of the players who San Antonio is going to deploy to try to defend Haliburton is Jeremy Sochan. Sochan is one of their best perimeter defenders.

Sochan is someone who they use to chase guys on the perimeter while Wemby cleans things up in the paint. It's a nice defensive system that the Spurs have.

Ahead of the first game on Thursday between these two, the Spurs listed Sochan as questionable on the injury report with a bilateral lumbar bone bruise.

Now, San Antonio has revealed in the league's latest injury report that Sochan will play in the game today.

The Pacers will have to deal with Sochan's rebounding ability, too, which is something he does well. Indiana has to find ways to get rebounds against a very tall team in San Antonio.

Indiana needs to keep winning games in order to solidify itself as a true contender when the playoffs come. They also can still make a move at the trade deadline to help that happen as well.
